One reason not to buy on Ebay

[2002XLT 5,000+ posts]

they don't have to be powersellers....you just shouldn't buy from people with few or shitty feedback, like the op did

X2.

I dont mind helping people build feedback as long as they dont have any negatives, or the negatives are something foolish. I have 1 neg. on my feedback, but its from "item not as described" and described wasnt even spelled right. And i know i described it to a T. Btch was just dumb and wanted money back, when i told her no, she negged me.

Well regardless, that is shitty. You gotta be pretty much retarted to ship somthing like that.

Sad thing is ,.. he's "supposed" to be an installer.

That's the thing,.. you never know the real story. My ex sold some of my daughters baby clothes,... one had never been worn. Kind of one of those presents that got put somewhere and forgot about. I looked at it myself thoroughly before sending it. Was brand new. The buyer said it had a hole in it. I offered her a refund and extra shipping to send it back,... but she didn't have the time.....LOL. Neg'd me for that and shipping being way late (ex's grandmother passed and was out of town,... emailed her from Louisville to tell her about it,. shipped as soon as we were back.)

Some people may look at my feedback,.. and be scared by it,.. and say it's bad,.... but I didn't deserve any of them. That lady was one,.. the dude with the CD Cleaner,... a guy who bought a collectible Hot Wheel MOMC,.. was shipped to me new in hard plastic Protecto Pak,.. and was never out of it,.. tried to say the card was all bent up in 4 different places,.. but box was undamaged.... IMPOSSIBLE!!

So,.. anyway,. don't really know what the point of that was,.. LOL... just venting again!!!

i think you are the idiot for not looking at his feedback

I've sold on ebay for 8+ years, and have never had a complaint for the way I pack. I figure if somebody is going to trust me enough to buy from me, it's my job to describe accurately and pack things better than right. That's why I buy bubble wrap on 250' rolls, and styrofoam peanuts 20 cubic feet at a time.

That seller's an idiot, and his "guarantee" should screw him.

i can read.

i saw

just saying with 3 negs and 3 neutrals and 77 items sold. it is kinda obvious he is a bad shipper.

nut i will say that it is true that most powersellers or stores take quite a while to answer messages.

and the whole fake picture thing should have tipped you off like the others said.

That seller is a ***. the worse part is if you leave a negative feedback, you might get hit with a one too

Ghey.
That's why I'll only buy new on ebay, from a reputable store...

Only buy from people who know that "expecially" is not a word. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Just because you recieved something not as described does not mean eBay is not a good place to purchase things. Not every seller is the same on eBay. Ive been purchasing things on there since about 2005 and not had anything problems with things not being as described.

I've eBayed for almost 9 years, mostly as a buyer. Add in a bunch of stuff on Yahoo auctions years ago when they were free, various forums I'm on where buy/sell/trade happens and other online deals for around 1000 deals experience in that time. Bad experiences always tick me off but they are around 1% of the time. I can deal with that in the bigger scheme of things.

My current peeve is with hifisoundconnection. They had listed some Pioneer REV 6x9's with a quantity of 95. I buy and then it turns out they have NONE. They made two offers, one to bait and switch me and the other to keep my money for an unspecified amount of time while waiting for the speakers to show up. I asked for a refund via email. The phone number they give never gets answered by a human and they never reply to voicemails. They never gave a refund.

Too late I did my due diligence on their rating. Plenty of complaints showed up from customers who bought and later found out the item was not in stock despite HiFi listing them in copious amounts. They engaged in retaliatory feedback in order to get customers to "mutually withdraw" negs, with the one coming HiFi's way being totally justified.

I turned them into SquareTrade for their shady business practices, registered a complaint with the Missouri Attorney General's office since that is where HiFi is and I have just filled out a disputed payment form with my credit card company. Will shaking enough trees get something going? I don't know but I intend to find out!

As far as I was concerned, they broke the auction deal when they listed 95 for sale and had none when I bought. All they had to do was refund my money and it's case closed. They want to play games and now I'm going to nail them out. I got my speakers shipped from MillionBuy on eBay uber-quick and they're all ready to go for Friday's install.

Yeah, it's a horror story but they're rare events. My 100% rating shows I'm a good guy eBayer and for the most part things do go as they are supposed to, with ontime shipping, good packaging and ontime payments. Just like crossing the street, one buys with some caution and it was me not being as careful as I should have been to check out the negs on the seller beforehand that set in motion my dealing with this ripper/scammer overseller.

Foolish me...LOL! I'm a Big Boy and I'll deal with it though.

I only buy from people that have sold thousands with 98%+ feedback, or someone local so I can pick up the items myself...
